ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – The New Mexico teenager accused of fatally shooting his parents and three younger siblings told authorities he was annoyed with his mother and had been having homicidal and suicidal thoughts, according to a probable cause statement.
Nehemiah Griego, 15, remained in custody Monday on charges of murder and child abuse resulting in death. He was arrested following the shootings Saturday at a home in a rural area southwest of Albuquerque where he lived with his family.
A Bernalillo County sheriff's detective questioned the teen Saturday night and the details of their conversation were spelled out in the statement.
The teen allegedly told the detective that he took a .22 caliber rifle from his parents' closet around midnight Saturday and shot his mother in the head while his younger brother slept next to her.
Griego told the detective that his brother did not believe him that their mother was dead so he showed his mother's bloody face to his brother and then shot him, according to the statement.
He's accused of then shooting his two young sisters in their room. He retrieved an AR-15 rifle from his parents' closet and waited in a downstairs bathroom for his father to come home. The statement said he shot his father multiple times after he passed the bathroom doorway.
The teen said he reloaded the guns so 'he could drive to a populated area to murder more people,' according to the statement.
His plan, the statement said, was to 'shoot people at random and eventually be killed while exchanging gunfire with law enforcement.'
Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Aaron Williamson said Monday he couldn't immediately comment on the document.
Detectives have spent two days collecting evidence and trying to piece together what led to the violence.
'There's no other way to say it, except that we have a horrific crime scene down there that we are working on,' Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said Sunday.
The detectives had finished their work at the home by Monday afternoon. The metal gate at the home's entrance was shut, a small bouquet of purple flowers was on the top of the gate and at each side there were religious signs, including one that read 'Jesus is the reason for the season.'
The sheriff's office identified the victims as Greg Griego, 51, his wife Sarah Griego, 40, and three of their children: a 9-year-old boy, Zephania Griego, and daughters Jael Griego, 5, and Angelina Griego, 2. All appeared to have gunshot wounds to the head.
Greg Griego was a pastor who had once served at Calvary, one of Albuquerque's largest Christian churches. He was also well-known throughout the law enforcement community for his work as a voluntary chaplain.
Neighbor Terry Wootan described Griego as a man with a big heart. The two sometimes chatted at the mailbox and would wave to each other when passing by. Wootan said Griego told him about his time in California when he was involved in gangs and how he turned his life around and found God.
'What he wanted to do was help people, and he would never quit,' Wootan said.
The pastor's death has shocked the community, including the Albuquerque Fire Department and the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he volunteered his spiritual guidance.
A records check by the Children, Youth and Families Department indicated no trouble with the Griego family and that Nehemiah Griego had never been in trouble with the law.
'This youth had no history with the juvenile justice system,' agency spokesman Bob Tafoya said Monday.
Williamson confirmed there was no history of any emergency calls to the home in the recent past.
Neighbors said they saw the first police cars and ambulances arrive at the home Saturday night. The road was blocked and word of the shootings began to make its way through the neighborhood.
According to the probable cause statement, Nehemiah Griego first told a staff member at Calvary that his family was dead and that he placed the two rifles in the family van as protection before driving to the church. He later changed his story, according to the detective's statement.
Asked if he had told anyone else about murdering his family, Griego allegedly told the detective that he had taken a picture of his dead mother and sent it to his girlfriend.
Sheriff Dan Houston plans to hold a news conference Tuesday morning, and the teen could make his first court appearance in the next day or two.

Located in the West Village, in an area full of restaurants (none of which are kosher, unfortunately), Popbar (5 Carmine Street – at 6th Avenue – New York, NY 10014; Tel: 212.255.4874) is a refreshing oasis for the kosher palate. When I say refreshing I mean it literally, especially, now that summer is almost here. They sell popGelato and popSorbetto… Unlike other gelati, their product comes on bars. Unlike other bars, theirs are made with all natural, healthy ingredients… not quite what you get at your friendly supermarket, is it?
The popSorbetto flavors (strawberry, peach, mixed berry, blood orange, lemon, mandarin, pineapple, melon, grapefruit) are made with 70-80% real fruit, with no syrup, no milk and natural fructose, intead of sugar. As a result, not only are they healthier, but they do not taste overly sweet like so many other brands do.
The choice of popGelato flavors is a little larger (chocolate, vanilla, coffee, mint, coconut, hazelnut, giandula, pistachio, almond, banana). They use more milk than cream, as a result these bars have fewer calories and are lighter than regular ice cream.
They also just started producing a new popular item, yogurt strawberry.
All their ingredients are imported from Italy, and when you taste these bars you immediately notice the difference. I tasted a popGelato coffee which they customized for me by dipping it in hazelnuts and dark chocolate…
Decadent, creamy but light, not overly sweet… a feast for the eyes and palate! Then I had a mixed berry popSorbetto. It is made from real strawberry, real raspberry and real blueberry. Not only is this just different from other sorbet bars, it's faaar better tasting, certainly healthier.
Their poppings (toppings) include: almond, hazelnut, coconut, pistachio and chocolate sprinkles. Their dippings include: dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate.
Before leaving, I picked three flavors to take home: lemon and strawberry (half of it covered in dark chocolate) from the popSorbetto selections and Hazelnut (covered in milk chocolate and hazelnuts), a popGelato selection.
CS – who loves lemon flavored anything – thought this bar was the best he ever had, while I found the strawberry tasty, juicy, delicious with a true strawberry taste, the dark chocolate dipping was just the right touch. I cut the hazelnut popGelato in half (weeeell, not exactly half), gave one piece to CS (guess which one!), we both thought it was superb, creamy, flavorful and just sweet enough. I guess Popbar will be seeing us a lot.

LGE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual LGE(4) NAME lge -- Level 1 LXT1001 NetCellerator PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device miibus device lge Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_lge_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The lge driver provides support for various NICs based on the Level 1 LXT1001 NetCellerator Gigabit Ethernet controller chip. The LXT1001 supports fiber PHYs and also a GMII port for use with 10/100/1000 copper PHYs, however there are currently no NICs on the mar- ket that use this feature. The LXT1001 supports TCP/IP checksum offload for receive and VLAN-based filtering as well as a 64-bit multicast hash filter. It also supports jumbo frames, which can be configured via the interface MTU setting. Se- lecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility con- figures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames. Using jumbo frames can greatly improve performance for certain tasks, such as file transfers and data streaming. The lge driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected mode by adding media options to rc.conf(5). 1000baseSX Set 1000baseSX operation over fiber optic cable. Both full-duplex and half-duplex modes are supported. The lge driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Force full duplex operation. half-duplex Force half duplex operation. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

Ireland's Child Abuse Commission has released its report on the physical and sexual abuse inflicted on thousands of children over the past 70 years by religious and lay staff of institutions caring for disadvantaged, neglected and abandoned children, reports Catholic News Agency.
Responding to the release of the report, the new Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols said the report was "disturbing," adding that every single incident of abuse in the Catholic Church should be "a scandal" and should never be "a matter of indifference."
The inquiry has produced findings against 216 facilities, a number that includes both state and religious institutions. The Sisters of Mercy and the Christian Brothers, which ran the largest number of children's institutions, were among the religious orders investigated.
Institutions run by religious orders examined in the report included industrial and reform schools, institutions for the disabled, orphanages and day schools.
The report said that sexual abuse was endemic in boys' schools while in girls' schools children were subjected to predatory abuse by male employees, visitors, and also during outside placements.
The abuse was rarely reported to government authorities. On the occasions the Department of Education was informed, it colluded with religious orders in silence by dismissing or ignoring sexual abuse complaints and never bringing them to the attention of the Garda, the Irish police.
"The risk (to children), however, was seen by the congregations in terms of the potential scandal and bad publicity should the abuse be disclosed," the report stated.
It said the safety of children "in general was not a consideration." Religious authorities who had evidence of sexual abuse transferred the alleged offenders to other locations, where they were often free to abuse again.
"At best, the abusers were moved but nothing was done about the harm done to the child. At worst, the child was blamed and seen as corrupted by the sexual activity, and was punished severely," the report found.
Part of the nine year investigation by the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse included interviews with 1,090 individuals about the abuse they suffered. The interviews revealed that more than 90 percent of the students who testified suffered physical abuse, while around 50 percent were victims of sexual abuse. The commission found that more than 800 individuals who were involved in carrying out physical or sexual abuse.
Some children were so badly neglected they had to scavenge for food in waste bins and animal feed, while unsupervised bullying also left smaller and weaker children without food.
Archbishop Nichols spoke to ITV News about the report, saying:
"It's very distressing and very disturbing and my heart goes out today first of all to those people who will find that their stories are now told in public… Secondly, I think of those in religious orders and some of the clergy in Dublin who have to face these facts from their past which instinctively and quite naturally they'd rather not look at.
"That takes courage, and also we shouldn't forget that this account today will also overshadow all of the good that they also did."
The archbishop said those who committed violence and abuse and "abused the trust that was placed in them" should be held to account, "no matter how long ago it happened."
He said the Catholic Church in England has a "very steady and reliable system" of cooperation with police and social services and said a legal and police process should "absolutely" take place if the offenses demand it.
When ITV asked Archbishop Nichols why abuse seemed more prevalent in the Catholic Church than in other faiths, he answered:
"Every time there is a single incident of abuse in the Catholic Church it is a scandal.
"And I'm glad it's a scandal. I would be very worried if it wasn't a scandal… I hope these things don't happen again but I hope they're never a matter of indifference."

By Brian Nixon, special to ASSIST News Service
Tall el-Hammam sits in the northeast quadrant of the Dead Sea, in an area known as the Kikkar, or the "disc of Jordan." It is an area lush with farmland, water, and natural beauty.
Geographically, it is east of Jericho, at about the same level above the sea. To this day, it is one of the most important agricultural areas of Jordan, providing many fruit and vegetable crops for Jordan and for export.
As amazing as it may sound, Tall el-Hammam may also be the location of the ancient city of Sodom.
According to archeologist, Dr. Steven Collins, this site fits perfectly with the geographical profile outlined in Genesis 13-19.
How Dr. Collins arrived at this conclusion involves years of research, digs, and textual research with many colleagues, including Dr. Peter Briggs. Drs. Collins and Briggs developed a means to determine if an ancient text is a "true narrative" through a scientific methodology called "criterial screening."
The finding? Genesis is reliable for geographical profiles, and therefore can be used to locate sites.
With this bit of knowledge, Dr. Collins set out on a course of discovery.
"When I first had the idea that the traditional site of Sodom (in the southern region of the Dead Sea) was wrong (based upon the geographical indicators), I began to think through the text, coming to conclusion that it was northeast of the Dead Sea."
After a 250-page research paper, hours of research—in the U.S., Israel, and Jordan— Collins concluded that the site of Tall el-Hammam was the ��?one.'
"I came to this conclusion based upon its geographical location and the biblical text. In the Bible, Sodom was mentioned first in order; therefore it must have been the largest and most prominent city in the area. We find that Scripture usually orders cities by prominence and size. With that bit of knowledge we choose the largest site."
"As a matter of fact," Collins continued, "Tall el-Hammam was the largest site by a huge margin."
Under the auspice of the current dig, Tall el-Hammam's general area is 40 hectares (roughly 100 acres), which is huge by ancient Bronze Age standards.
With the current dig well under way, the findings have been staggering.
"Not only do we have the right place geographically speaking, but it falls within the right time frame (the Bronze Age), and it was destroyed during the time of Abraham (the Middle Bronze Age). When you add in the pottery, architecture (it was a fortified city), and the chronological consistency of the region to the biblical text, it is a match made in heaven, so to speak," Collins beams as he shares this with me.
"To make it even more intriguing," he continues, "there is great mystery concerning this site, and all of its associated sites. For some reason there is what I call a "historical hole or LB Gap" regarding the site. Meaning, after this cluster of towns was destroyed during Abraham's time, the area was not re-occupied until much, much later; later than the sites in the regions surrounding this particular cluster."
"It must have been seen as a taboo site of some kind. Something terrible must have happened there that caused people to stay away for so many centuries."
I then ask Dr. Collins for some evidence.
"Well, to start with, the Tall el-Hammam site has 25 geographical indicators that align it with the description in Genesis. Compare this with something well known—like Jerusalem—that has only 16. Other sites have only 5 or 6. So, this site has many times more indicators than any other Old Testament site. That is truly amazing."
"Second, our findings—pottery, architecture, and destruction layers—fit the timeframe profile. Meaning, we should expect to find items, like what we are finding, from the Middle Bronze period. This is exactly what we are uncovering."
"Lastly, we have secured internationally recognized experts to review our findings. One such person is Dr. Robert Mullins, and then there are our colleagues from the Department of Antiquities in Jordan. Dr. Mullins is an expert in Bronze Age pottery, and there are many others as well. My ceramic expertise also covers the Bronze Age. Their conclusions on the matter reflect that our findings are correct. Once again, this is incredible."
"Though we are still digging and uncovering a plethora of material and artifacts, and much research still needs to be conducted, I feel that the evidence for this being the ancient city of Sodom is increasing by the day."
"As a matter of fact, even some critics of the Bible are giving this site some attention. There is a host of web activity—both scholarly and downright weird—that has been spawned from this discovery. It is a wonderful time to be in archeology! I must confess that I am both humbled and excited to be a part of something as significant as this."

About Dining Chairs
If you've already got a kitchen table you like, it may be time to upgrade your dining chairs. The first thing you should know is that dining chairs are broken up into two main categories: side chairs, which don't have armrests, and arm chairs, which do. Beyond these two primary categories, there's a lot of variation amongst dining chairs.
We carry everything from tufted, upholstered dining chairs to simple wooden dining chairs that match almost any table. Our dining chairs vary wildly in style and color, so no matter what look you're going for, be it a country kitchen, retro 50's American diner, patio eatery, or a traditional family dining room, you'll be able to find the dining chairs to pull it off.
And of course, you can buy just a single chair if you've had a new addition to the family or purchase a set of matching dining chairs to replace the old ones you're getting rid of. You can even mix and match dining chairs. So if you're looking for dining chairs, you can rest assured because we offer a compelling and diverse selection of dining chairs matching both your tastes and budget.

The Birds of America, First Royal Octavo Edition—Published by Oppenheimer Editions
John James Audubon explored the American backwoods and wilderness to discover, record, and illustrate its avian life. America's most revered artist-naturalist, John James Audubon (1785—1851), is renowned for his extraordinary undertaking to record the birds of America. The images he created are icons of 19th-century art. Though he studied and drew from nature since childhood, it was not until 1819 when he was the father of two sons that John James Audubon fully embraced the life of an artist-naturalist with the support of his devoted wife, Lucy Audubon. In 1820, John James Audubon left his family in Cincinnati, embarking with a young apprentice, Joseph R. Mason. Mason worked with John James Audubon from 1820 until 1822, contributing mostly botanical elements to about 55 of John James Audubon's paintings. Later, the artists George Lehman, Maria Martin, and his sons Victor Gifford Audubon and John Woodhouse Audubon assisted John James Audubon with botanical and landscape backgrounds. Published from 1827—38, the lavish double-elephant-size folio of The Birds of America, spectacularly launched John James Audubon's career as an artist-naturalist and publisher of natural history folios depicting North American birds and animals.
To make The Birds of America more affordable and widely available, in 1839 John James Audubon began the first octavo edition, a smaller version of the folio which was printed and hand-colored by J. T. Bowen in Philadelphia. Employing a new invention, the camera lucida, the images were reduced in size, rendered in intermediate drawings by John James Audubon and his son John Woodhouse, and then drawn onto lithographic stones. These miniatures exhibit a remarkable amount of attention to quality and detail, as well as a meticulous fidelity to the larger works. Some compositional changes were made in order to accommodate the smaller format. Like the Havell edition, John James Audubon's first octavo edition was sold by subscription and distributed in parts, five at a time. However, the octavo editions were issued in proper phylogenic, or species order. These prints also bear the plate number in the upper right-hand corner and the subscription number in the upper left. The first edition of approximately 1,200 sets was completed in five years from 1839 to 1844.
Though the first edition remains the most desirable, several octavo editions of both the The Birds of America and The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America were produced. In 1856, a second edition of the Birds was published by John James Audubon's son, Victor Gifford. The octavo edition of The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America was first published between 1849 and 1854.
Established in 1999, Oppenheimer Editions has partnered with prestigious museums to make prints from their holdings. Works from the New-York Historical Society's unrivaled collections of John James Audubon's watercolors and the Hudson River School paintings are examples of art that otherwise would be unobtainable. Among the institutional collections we have partnered with are the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum, and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. These are not mere reproductions. They are limited-edition fine art prints made with the finest quality archival pigments on rag watercolor paper and executed to exacting standards.

Earlier this month James Surowiecki wrote an excellent piece, "titled The Fairness Trap," for the New Yorker. Surowiecki considers some of the ways that the widespread preference for fairness may be contributing to some of the global and local economic woes. Here are a few excerpts from the article.
With Europe's economic woes dominating the headlines once more, it's hard not to think of Yogi Berra's dictum "It's déjà vu all over again." As usual, the turmoil centers on Greece, which is in its fifth year of recession and struggling beneath a colossal debt load. This year, in exchange for drastic austerity measures, Greece's government agreed to an aid package (its second) with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, totalling $174 billion. But three weeks ago furious Greek voters tossed the ruling parties out of office; attempts to form a coalition government failed, and new elections are scheduled for next month. Now Greek politicians are talking tough about renegotiating, but the E.U., led by Germany, which is the largest contributor to the bailout, says that there will be no more money for Greece if it doesn't live up to its promises. So policymakers are seriously discussing a so-called Grexit—in which Greece would default on its debts and abandon the euro.
This isn't an outcome that anyone wants. Even though a devalued currency would make Greece's exports cheaper and attract tourists, it would do so at a terrible price, destroying huge amounts of wealth and seriously harming the country's G.D.P. It would be costly for the rest of Europe, too. Greece owes almost half a trillion euros, and containing the damage would likely require the recapitalization of banks, continent-wide deposit insurance (to prevent bank runs), and more aid to Portugal, Spain, and Italy, which seem to be the next countries in line to default. That's a very high price to pay for getting rid of Greece, and much more expensive than letting it stay.
Rationally, then, this standoff should end with a compromise—relaxing some austerity measures, and giving Greece a little more aid and time to reform. And we may still end up there. But the catch is that Europe isn't arguing just about what the most sensible economic policy is. It's arguing about what is fair. German voters and politicians think it's unfair to ask Germany to continue to foot the bill for countries that lived beyond their means and piled up huge debts they can't repay. They think it's unfair to expect Germany to make an open-ended commitment to support these countries in the absence of meaningful reform. But Greek voters are equally certain that it's unfair for them to suffer years of slim government budgets and high unemployment in order to repay foreign banks and richer northern neighbors, which have reaped outsized benefits from closer European integration. The grievances aren't unreasonable, on either side, but the focus on fairness, by making it harder to reach any kind of agreement at all, could prove disastrous.
The basic problem is that we care so much about fairness that we are often willing to sacrifice economic well-being to enforce it. Behavioral economists have shown that a sizable percentage of people are willing to pay real money to punish people who are taking from a common pot but not contributing to it. Just to insure that shirkers get what they deserve, we are prepared to make ourselves poorer. Similarly, a famous experiment known as the ultimatum game—one person offers another a cut of a sum of money and the second person decides whether or not to accept—shows that people will walk away from free money if they feel that an offer is unfair. Thus, even when there's a solution that would leave everyone better off, a fixation on fairness can make agreement impossible.
You can see this in the way the U.S. has dealt with the foreclosure crisis. . . . * * *
The fairness problem is exacerbated by the fact that our definition of what counts as fair typically reflects what the economists Linda Babcock and George Loewenstein call a "self-serving bias" * * * [which] leads us to define fairness in ways that redound to our benefit, and to discount information that might conflict with our perspective. This effect is even more pronounced when bargainers don't feel that they are part of the same community—a phenomenon that psychologists call "social distance." * * *

About anaglyph 3D: Photographs here are in 3D, using anaglyph techniques which combines two photographs one in red and the other in cyan (blue + green) color. To get the 3D effect, you must use glasses with red and cyan lenses (filters) over your regular glasses. The form of the beak is far easier to interpret in 3D and we strongly recommend to the viewer that the glasses be obtained (this is especially helpful when viewing enlarged images - i.e. click on the image). These beak photographs were made using Red and Cyan Anachrome Aviator Glasses (see: http://www.anachrome.com/glassbuy.htm or http://www.amazon.com) which cost under $10.00 (USD).

This past Wednesday, October 28th, I attended a wine tasting by the Israel Wine Lovers Group in Manhattan – at the end of two days at Kosherfest. The wines featured, this particular evening, were from Israel's Ella Valley Vineyards, distributed here by Monsieur Touton Selection Ltd.
The wines were presented by Joseph Berkowitz (from Monsieur Touton Selection Ltd.). We tasted 7 different potables.
We started with a Sauvignon Blanc 2008, pale straw colored, its aroma spoke of lime, pears with a hint of minerals. It tasted very citrusy, definitely showed promise.
Ella Valley Winery's Chardonnay 2007 followed. This wine is aged for 11 months in French oak barrels. On the nose one detects pineapple and apricot, with a small amount of minerals. We tasted the first bottle at room temperature and it fell a bit short of perfection. But, that was just the first bottle… Please read on until the end, gentle reader.
Next we had their Cabernet Sauvignon 2005. With 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, this wine was aged in French oak barrels for 16 months. Its aroma shows some unique minerals and plums, with a hint of the French oak's vanilla. It tasted far superior to the two previous selections, with a beautiful ruby red color and refined complexity that gave it depth and character.
We segued the above with the winery's Merlot 2005. Aged for 16 months, it is bended from 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose one finds it ripe with red fruits and some seasoning herbs. On the palate the fruitiness becomes mixed with bitter chocolate and a hint of coffee. Very good!
The Syrah 2006 was next in line. Blended from 90% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, it was my favorite! Powerful, aromatic, aged for 16 months, Daniel Rogov gave it a 92 rating "outstanding in every way."
We then moved to the Cabernet Franc 2007, with 90% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. its aroma bespeaks of pepper, blackcurrant, with a hint of tobacco and violets. Though it is usually quite lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon, this particular selection had a dark red color. It opened to a distinctive peppery start but yielded to cherry, licorice and citrus peel on the long finish.
We went on tho the Ella Valley Vineyards' Choice Merlot 2003. Aged for 17 months, it consists of 100% Merlot grapes. Powerful and gripping, royal purple in color, its aroma has strong notes of black cherry, berries and spices. In the glass it shows a full body and firm structure. Its elegance is obvious! It ends with an appealing spicy oak on the long finish.
After such a powerful wine, Mr. Berkowitz suggested we end the evening with a well chilled bottle of Chardonnay 2007. Unlike the first bottle we tasted (at room temperature), this one was full of flavor and deliciously refreshing. It compared more than favorably with other Israeli and Chilean Chardonnays I tasted at Kosherfest earlier in the day. This time it showed the true reason Daniel Rogov awarded it a rating of 90.

I've been using Microsoft Word for…um…many years. I'm old. Moving on.
I hear from online writer friends, bloggers, and tweeps that Scrivener is the bee's knees. Some say it's easy, others that it has a steep learning curve. I don't have time for that. But, if it really is all that and a bag of chips, I'll find time to learn it. Because, as we all know, a stitch in time saves nine. (I have never understood this idiom. Surely there are better ways to say that if you do a little work now, it will save you doing more work later. See? That was easy.)
To add nuts to the cookie dough, I've just started using Pages. I know. But it was there and I was in need… I'm finally getting used to it and it has some pretty cool templates.
Pages is a shiny new toy, Word is a comfy, tattered old teddy bear, and Scrivener is a bike in the shop window.
I want all of the things!
You see my issue here.
I'm not likely to ever get rid of my ratty teddy bear. It's comfortable. I know it well. But I do see the lure of a new toy, though that could be temporary. And the bike in the window that everyone is talking about? It's a must-have yet I should probably learn to ride it (and that could take a long time).
Using three different programs seems excessive but do I whittle it down to just one?
I'm thinking each program could be useful for different types of writing—novels, short stories, flash, blog posts, notes…
If you have a spectacular idea and type it out on some note-taking app on your phone (yes, I have done this), are you able to extend it there or do you have to type it out somewhere else? I've always had to re-type it or email, cut, paste, repeat. I want to be able to extend writing where my notes are because, when inspiration strikes, you can be in bed at 2am and you have to write that scene.
I'm befuddled.
There are word processing programs, software designed specifically for writing, and apps for…just about everything.
I want to know (from you writers, not sites trying to sell me something) how easy or difficult these are to use. I want to know if you can transfer documents from one device to another and how many steps are involved in that process. I want to know if you can save these documents as other documents—Pages as Word, Word as Scrivener-ish-thing. What is a Scrivener document called? Anyway, I would love to know all of these things as well as any shortcuts you lovely writers have discovered.
What say you, gentle readers? What program/software/app do you use for writing? Do you use more than one?
* Edited to add: I've seen numerous mentions of Evernote in the past few weeks. Do you have this? Do you like it?
"But wait! There's more!" I know there are dozens of apps out there and I've touched on only a few so please do let me know what you use and what works for you. I'll send you cookies. (Chocolate chip, not electronic tracking data. Although… That would be a cool spy gadget.)
** Here's something amusing for you. I wrote this post weeks ago in Pages and it took me forever to figure out how to get it to my laptop (in Word) and now, as I'm uploading it to WordPress, I'm having formatting issues. And I just love the irony of this. So much. Plus, the Hulk in me gets to SMASH something. Which is always fun.

A comet spotted earlier this year may pass close enough for Mars to feel the rock's hot breath down its neck, according to new reports that surfaced Monday and Tuesday. The comet, named C/2013 A1, may pass within a few tens of thousands of miles of Mars' center, with a remote chance that the miles-wide comet will collide with the planet.
C/2013 A1 "Siding Spring," a comet between 5 and 30 miles wide, was spotted January 3 by astronomer Robert H. McNaught. Researchers were able to look back in the image history of the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona and spot signs of the comet as early as December 8, 2012. NASA states that other archives have traced sightings back to October 4, 2012.
According to scientists at NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office, Siding Spring originates from the Oort Cloud of our Solar System and has been journeying to this point for more than a million years. In less than two years, around October 19, 2014, the comet will pass very close to Mars.
Based on the parabolic orbit observed so far, NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab estimates Siding Spring will pass within 186,000 miles of Mars. The NEO's estimate, based on observations from data up to March 1, places the distances at 31,000 miles from the surface. NBC notes that observations made by Russian astronomer Leonid Elenin of the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics indicate that the comet will pass 25,700 miles from the center of Mars.
"The possibility of an impact cannot be excluded," stated NASA in a press release. According to NBC, the comet would be moving 35 miles per second at the time of impact and would create a crater up to 10 times the diameter of the comet's body and around 1.25 miles deep. If the comet manages to miss Mars, it will be a prime target for observation in October of next year, as it's set to pass Mars around October 19, followed by the Sun on October 25.

Morning Jolt: Waitress finds stolen ID in customer's hands
In the news
A waitress who had her driver's license stolen last month found it - when a customer pretending to be her used it to order drinks at an Applebee's. Waitress Brianna Priddy told Colorado news outlets, "Four people come in, walk in, sit down. They start ordering drinks. This girl hands me my ID as a fake ID." Then, "I didn't say anything. I handed it back to her and said, 'Sure I'll be right back with your margarita,' went straight to the phone, called the cops." The identity thief had been writing checks in Priddy's name during the time her license was missing.

Getting My Can Orgasms Cause Seizures – Jiwula.com To Work
In fact, one doctor-Stuart Meloy of Winston-Salem, North Carolina-already patented one, in 1996. (More on that in a bit.) This outlook rests on reasonable foundations: Orgasms are just energy and drugs surging through brains, and we can trigger them without genital stimulation, even by thoughts alone. They usually (but not always) unfold thanks to (not always sexual) stimulation of the genitals or the nerves tied to them, which send signals up the spinal cord and into the brain.
It consists of a small generator, to be implanted near the spine, linked to electrodes running into spinal nerves that take signals from an external remote. Those electrodes would zap the brain, via the nerves, to orgasm. Only about a dozen women have tried the Orgasmatron, and only a few reported full orgasms.
"Every partner could be different, every action that preceded it… whether it's make-up sex or angry sex or S&M sex or whatever it might be," said Jim Pfaus, a sexual neuroscientist. "The quality of [an orgasm] is going to change. Your brain is interpreting it differently because of the antecedent conditions."We don't know much about how differing build-up colors an orgasm, or what brain activity during orgasm ties to how we interpret it.

The spinal surgeon was performing a routine pain-relief operation on a patient, using electrodes implanted into the spine when he hit the magic spot. The patient who was awake at the time started making rather appreciative noises, and told Dr Meloy: 'You'll have to teach my husband how to do that'.
He began investigating a device that could trigger orgasms on demand, though they involved having a generator – akin to a pacemaker – surgically implanted along with the spinal electrodes. Aside from the invasive surgery requirement, there was one other problem: the generators cost $25,000 (£19,600) each. In the years since, interest in the Meloy's orgasmatron has gone limp (sorry again).
Rumored Buzz on Are Vaginal Orgasms Real? – Verywell Health
The pleasure we experience after our 'brief event' is the result of neurohormones and endorphins – endogenous morphine. The stimulation of different nerves produces different types of orgasms (vaginal, clitoral, anal, prostate, cervical, urethral etc) meaning that there are different flavours and blends depending on your particular predilections. But if an orgasm is ultimately just a flood of chemicals to the brain, could there be an answer outside of new tech devices? What if you could take a pill that eliminated the hard work (and aching wrist) making sexual nirvana as easy as treating a headache? Recently in Pakistan, a group of patients being treated for Parkinson's disease reported a rather unusual side effect.
Could this have a mass application? Would it even be desirable? The experts are sceptical. The downside, of course, is that if you cheat it and shortcut your way to climax, you miss out on all the good stuff. It's like specifically taking the scenic route and falling asleep until you get there.
While an orgasm button might be a way off, there's certainly plenty of sex tech innovation to keep an eye on. Much of the innovation is coming from women, borne of a desire to close the 'orgasm gap' in heterosexual encounters (heterosexual women said they orgasmed 63% of the time, for men, it was 85%).

They're a crucial part of wellness. The hormones released during climax are known to relieve pain, depression, and stress. Oxytocin stimulates attachment, calmness, and a sense of well-being, while dopamine contributes to a natural high, a sense of elation, and a feeling of boldness. If the pleasure isn't enough incentive for you, think about that.

In surveys, about a quarter of American women report some sort of orgasm snafu, either not being able to have one at all (called anorgasmia) or often getting close without being able to take that blissful leap over the edge.
Marcalee Sipski Alexander (no relation) of the University of Alabama, Cindy Meston of the University of Texas at Austin, and of course, Beverly Whipple, who helped pioneer the effort. But even they cannot say for sure what makes an orgasm. "As of yet, no definitive explanations for what triggers orgasm have emerged," states a review of the science authored by Meston, Alexander and others.
Orgasm Control: 6 Ways To Train Your Body To Finish On … – The Facts
Many therapists suggest practice, practice, practice with vibrators or fingers or whatever works. Go solo at first so there is no pressure to perform. The last thing you want is for a lover to lose patience and switch on an old episode of "Green Acres." To know if you have actually had an orgasm isn't always easy; some are mild tremors, some are major earthquakes.
This is good; it expands the menu. But if a woman comes to expect that same feeling to always be the one that pushes her over the edge, she can become frustrated. So keep the toys in the sock drawer for a little while and then slowly integrate them again.
Orgasms have been much talked about in the past few years with people becoming more aware about sexuality and giving more importance to sexual pleasure in relationships. A lot has been said about how to get better and more frequent orgasms, as the female orgasms also became a subject of importance and controversy that followed.
The smart Trick of Real Orgasms And Transcendent Pleasure: How Women Are … That Nobody is Discussing
The basis of the idea is that an orgasm is basically energy and drugs in motion in the brain, and it can be triggered with thoughts alone, even if there is no genital simulation. An orgasm is caused when simulation of genitals and nerves linked to them sends signals to the brain.
Orgasms are phenomenon that occur during sexual intercourse when two partners are intimately aroused. Of course, men and women are very different in bodily structure, and there are a lot of differences in orgasm technique and effect. Science has looked further into the differences between the two sexes to find out more about which sex has the better orgasm.
Science has shown that men and women are aroused in very different ways, and even that one gender requires more time than the other, but nevertheless, the feelings are very much similar and one gender doesn't really experience a 'better' orgasm than the other, per-se. In fact, both genders have used the same exact words to describe the feelings of an orgasm.
All About How To Biohack Your Orgasm – Flo Living
Women have been socialized to believe male orgasm is more important than their own, We have been taught in America that talking about sex is inappropriate or uncomfortable, Women have been brought up to believe that asking for things or standing up for themselves is considered less attractive than a woman who agrees with or goes along with the norm It's easier to fake an orgasm than to speak up, You're tired of having sex or aren't in the mood, You want your partner to feel validated despite how you feel You're embarrassed/think something is wrong because you can never orgasm during penetrative sex Next, I want to normalize how common it is for women to have a hard time achieving orgasm in general so perhaps we might all understand that if you can't, or don't regularly there's nothing wrong with you.
I'd like to also say that while it is normal, that doesn't mean we need to accept it, but it is well understood. Over and over again in sexual health research, the data is clear-male-female penetrative sex does not equal an orgasm for most women. In a 2019 article posted by The Kinsey Institute (a leading research group on sex and sexuality), when asked about orgasm, 22% of women reported that they had never orgasmed during penetrative sex and only 31-40% reported they regularly reached orgasm during sex.
So, what are those 31-40% of women doing differently than the majority? Through a great deal of research (it's interesting how we love to write, research and learn more about sex isn't it?!), we understand the determinants of orgasm have less to do with how sexual we are or how often we masturbate and more to do with how our relationships are doing and how we communicate.
Types Of Orgasm In Women – Pathway To Pleasure – Austin, Tx – Questions
We communicate and connect through words, touch, nonverbal cues, and through sex. Sex is one of the deepest and most personal forms of communication between you and your partner. When you essentially lie about orgasming you're breaking down communication in your intimate relationship when it could be used as an opportunity to strengthen communication.
What if you found out that five of the last 10 times you had sex with your partner they were faking their orgasms? How would it feel? Would it cause you to trust them less? Would you appreciate it? The thought of lying about something as intimate as sex creates an immediate disconnect between you and your partner.
Even if you're in a casual relationship or a one-night stand it matters (see #2 for details on that!) This unhealthy and unproductive feeling that is a side effect of not having your needs met or heard is unfortunately all too common when it comes to sex. If you're lying next to your partner after sex wishing it was different, biting your tongue, unsure of how to approach the situation, it's a really good idea to broach the topic sooner than later.

The whole point of sex is to become closer, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Use sex that's less than satisfying as an opportunity to grow, don't like something? Just say so. Really love something else, make it obvious! Need something different, bring it up. 3 of 4 This is a complicated topic.
The timing of your conversation is also crucial. Finding a time when you have the time, you're not in a hurry, and you're both generally in a good mood is important. Definitely stray away from bringing something like this up during an argument or as a fighting point. I actually wrote an entire article about how to talk to your partner about sex.
Additionally, penetrative sex alone just doesn't do it for most women because it doesn't stimulate the clitoris.

A dispute is bubbling inside Daytona's chamber
A troubling behind-the-scenes battle is taking place among the top leadership of the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce.
It's the kind of dispute everyone involved may understandably wish was kept from the public's eye. Two major chamber events — the group's annual banquet on Feb. 11 and Bike Week in early March — are just around the corner. The organization would much rather champion those events and the area's "chamber of commerce weather" than an ugly fight.
But the current unpleasantness is a dark cloud that can't be ignored. When significant disagreements erupt between leaders of the largest business organization in the area, well, it needs to be told.
The dust-up pits chamber President Larry McKinney against past board Chairman Tom Leek, current Chairman Suzanne Forbes, and incoming Chairman Phil Maroney. McKinney has raised concerns about the conduct of all three. The three, in turn, have been critical of McKinney's performance as president.
It's probably not necessary to make this point, but everyone involved is a respected member of the business community. McKinney has been the chamber's president since 2006. Leek is a partner in the Cobb-Cole law firm. Forbes is a partner in the James Moore accounting firm. Maroney is president of the Root Company.
It's also important to note that the chamber has faced adversity in recent years. Membership has dropped, and so has revenue. That may be a result of the difficult economy. But for a chamber president, such facts are also legitimate performance issues.
With that as a backdrop, here are the particulars of the dispute, as various chamber members with knowledge of the situation have explained:
Last summer, area political primaries included the race for Volusia County Council Chair between Carl Persis, Ted Doran and Jason Davis. The battle between Persis and Doran was particularly nasty.
In the heat of their battle last July, someone inside the chamber released a copy of a 2010 video that included Doran — who at the time was immediate past chairman of the chamber — speaking at an annual meeting at which the keynote speaker was former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. A snippet of Doran's comments from that video ended up in a commercial funded by a political action group that opposed Doran's county chair candidacy.
The way the video was used angered Doran. He asked who released the video, which, under an agreement with Palin, wasn't supposed to be made public. Emails flew back and forth between the chamber leadership. McKinney raised concerns about the appearance that the chamber leadership had taken a side in a political contest.
Then, in late August, McKinney received a less-than-favorable performance review in a meeting with Leek. The review focused on McKinney's overall performance.
Then, in September, Maroney, Forbes and Leek informed McKinney that his three-year "evergreen contract" with the chamber was not going to be renewed. That decision, however, wasn't approved by the chamber's executive committee or board of directors.
Then, in December and early January, another internal dispute arose involving a chamber "request for proposal" sent to area banks interested in handling a sizeable chamber deposit. Essentially, a banker complained that a chamber leader — not McKinney — suggested that the bank could get the chamber's business if the bank increased the dues it pays to the chamber.
Then, also in early January and after the banking dispute, McKinney had a discussion with Forbes and Maroney. They reportedly told McKinney he was ineffective as a chamber president and that he no longer has the support of the chamber's executive committee or the chamber foundation.
After that meeting, McKinney requested an executive committee meeting, which took place Jan. 22. He claimed that Leek, Maroney and Forbes together or separately committed three "by-law" violations due to: 1) The release of the videotape for political purposes; 2) The unauthorized renegotiation of McKinney's contract; and 3) The mishandling of the banking request RFP.
A committee headed by area attorney Jim Rose is now reviewing McKinney's claims. (Full disclosure: News-Journal Publisher Ron Wallace is on the review committee. But he is not a source for this column.)
For the chamber, this is obviously a real mess.
McKinney's claims deserve a full review. But the claims also muddy the water. They may be factually correct or they may not be factually correct, or they may be partly true. But the claims also could serve to divert attention from what may be legitimate issues regarding McKinney's performance.
To be clear: The News-Journal as a company strongly supports the chamber and its mission to improve the business climate in Daytona Beach and all of Volusia County.
But chamber membership has decreased in recent years. In-fighting won't help the chamber regain members who have left due to the economic downturn, or for other reasons.
More importantly, the chamber ought to be leading the charge on business development and recruitment of new business and industry. In the big scheme of things, the mission is to help the communities that make up Volusia County. Prosperity for businesses is good for everyone.
I don't have a dog in this hunt, and I can't predict how the chamber's internal dispute will be resolved. But this much I know: For the sake of the chamber, and the community, the dispute needs to be resolved now.

Is the Weebly Website Builder Right For You?
The Weebly Website Builder is a drag-and-drop website building tool. It's super-easy to use, powerful, and stuck with the Weebly branding. But is it really worth it? Let's explore Weebly's advantages and disadvantages to make an informed decision. Whether it's right for you depends on your needs and goals, but it's easy to see why it's popular with some users and not with others.
Weebly is a drag and drop website builder
Weebly is a great choice if you are looking for a drag and drop website builder that is authentic, and also has all the bells & whistles of a traditional drag and drop website builder. Weebly's Editor allows you to build your website in any way you want. This is a major drawback of many drag-'n'-drop website builders. You can also drag and drop HTML and CSS.
Weebly is a drag 'n' drop website builder that allows you to create a modern, professional website without any technical experience. Weebly's drag-'n'-drop platform makes it easy for you to create a website and make changes in real time. The platform is completely free and does not require any installation or upgrades.
While Squarespace and Wix offer some features you might find useful, they require a learning curve to get started. Weebly's editor makes it easy to use and doesn't require any advanced knowledge of website building. Weebly is easy to use and even beginners can create simple websites. It is worth noting that the free plan includes ads which you cannot remove. However, if you have a Premium plan, you won't have to deal with these ads.
Weebly allows you to create websites with no coding knowledge. With no experience, you can create a beautiful site with the drag & drop editor and get started in minutes. Weebly is used by more than 30,000,000 people. The free plan has a limited number of features. Weebly is the best option for anyone who is new to web design.
It's very easy to use
The Weebly website builder is very easy to use and is a great choice for creating small or personal websites. It's similar to Wix in ease of use, but has more functionality. It also includes ecommerce tools such as shopping carts, invoices, and coupons. It also includes an app center that allows you to customize the site for mobile users.
It's simple to create a website using Weebly for beginners. The platform also offers great support and step by step guides to help you get started. Advanced users can choose to pay a higher price and create a more complicated website. Although the free version is easy to use, it features ads that are not removable. The Professional and Performance plans don't have ads.
Another advantage of Weebly? You can customize the coding on your site. You don't need any technical skills to customize the code. The drag-and-drop builder does not give you full freedom, but the Weebly Code Editor offers full coding customization. While weebly is a good website builder, it's not the fastest, but it does an excellent job for the price.
Although the Weebly website builder is very easy to use, there are some things you should remember. First, it lacks a general media database, so every element needs to be uploaded again. Another big issue is that Weebly doesn't have an undo feature for editing text and images. You can't also rollback the entire site at once, as it lacks a full-history feature.
It's powerful
Weebly is a powerful website builder. Drag-and-drop lets you move elements between pages, but you can also edit HTML or CSS. Even if you don't know HTML or CSS, you can customize your website and get the results that you want. You can also add Google Adsense blocks for monetization. Up until now, Weebly has retained 50% of Adsense revenue. Site owners now earn 100% of Adsense revenues.
Weebly also has a mobile app that allows you to create a website even if you're not online. The app syncs with Weebly to give you access to statistics and business intelligence. You can manage multiple sites from one app, and you can even add more sites without the hassle of restarting your website. However, if you're looking for more freedom, you'll want to consider Wix.
Although Weebly is not the best site builder for eCommerce sites, it is still a popular choice. Although it offers a free plan, it is not recommended for large eCommerce sites. Although it is easy to create a website on Weebly it lacks flexibility and scalability. To avoid spammy emails and unwanted spam, you can opt out of receiving newsletters.
Weebly's App Center includes hundreds of apps, some paid and some free. You can integrate social media feeds and other marketing tools right into your website, or add advanced features. Each plan comes with different apps that you can add to any website without having to code. A paid plan includes a domain. The free version is only hosted on Weebly's subdomain. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
It's stuck with Weebly branding
The biggest downside to Weebly is its branded URL. If you purchase a custom domain through Weebly, your site will be stuck with the Weebly branding. But fortunately, there are several other options available for custom domains. But if you want to remove the Weebly branding, you'll have to pay extra. There are however ways around this.
You can choose from 50 pre-made templates with the Weebly website builder. However, they don't have all the features you'll need to build your own site. You must first decide whether you want to sell products or services on your website and then choose a template. There's no way to narrow down the options with a questionnaire or any type of tagging system. You can upload your own themes if you are unsure of what theme to choose.
Content marketing is an important SEO metric, and Weebly allows you to drag-and-drop elements into your site. You can integrate SEO apps, but Weebly's blogging feature is limited. It doesn't allow multiple authors so you have to stick with the branding. Squarespace, on the other hand, rivals Weebly in terms of blogging power and allows you embed podcasts.
One thing you may want to do is upgrade to a higher plan to remove the Weebly branding. This is not the end of the world, but we would recommend it if you're a beginner. Your website will rank higher in search results if you have more features. Weebly also offers advanced SEO tools, including sitemaps, meta-descriptions, alt tags, and more.
It's not as modern and up-to-date as it could be.
Square purchased Weebly's website building platform in 2018 and now offers a store builder. This is a great option for small businesses. The downside is the slow update process. If you're planning to build a large website, Weebly won't be able to compete with other, more powerful website builders. It also lacks features like SEO, members areas, customer accounts, and reports. Weebly recommends Google Workspace at $6 per month per user. However, there are some workarounds available for these shortcomings.
Although Weebly's drag-and-drop editor works well, it is not as modern as it could. The drag-and drop editor is retro-looking and doesn't have an integrated stock library. Instead, you can only use images from Flickr, which are of questionable quality. Although drag-and-drop is still functional, it will require you to work harder than if you were using a modern platform.
Weebly's website builder has many features, but they're not as modern as it could be. Without an expert, it can be difficult to customize pages and the homepage. The preview option in Weebly's website creator allows you to see the final site before you make any changes. It also allows you to add a custom domain to your website if you'd like to.
There are a number of premium themes available. The Gecko theme is one of the best and is extremely easy to customize. It includes video backgrounds, animation header and carousel zoom slider. It also has more than 700 icons available. Although weebly's website builder is not as modern as it could be, it can still make your website look good. We don't recommend it to be used for every website.

Guide to the levels of difficulty
"I don't know what 'difficult' means. Either you can play or you can't" – this was the rather terse comment by the great violinist Nathan Milstein, on being asked about the unbelievable difficulty of Niccolo Paganini's Caprice no. 1.
The relativity of the evaluation of difficulty in music immediately becomes clear. Yet I gladly take up this great challenge, presented to me by G. Henle Publishers. For I am aware of how useful a guide like this can be, both from my own experience as well as that of many colleagues. In particular so as to be able to identify "appropriate" works. For example for music teachers, who teach at very different levels, from beginners to those preparing for music conservatories, but also for all those interested amateurs for whom this guide is intended.
After careful deliberation I have settled on nine levels of difficulty, which I have divided into three groups: 1–3 (easy), 4–6 (medium), 7–9 (difficult). A number of parameters have been considered when assessing the level of difficulty. I have not just looked at the number of fast or slow notes to be played, or the chord sequences; of central importance are also the complexity of the piece's composition, its rhythmic complexities, the difficulty of reading the text for the first time, and last but not least, how easy or difficult it is to understand its musical structure. I have defined "piece" as being the musical unit of a sonata, or a single piece in a cycle, which is why Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" Part I comprises a total of 48 levels of difficulty (each prelude and fugue is considered separately), Schumann's Sonata in f sharp minor op.11 only has a single number. My assessment is measured by the ability to prepare a piece for performance.
Any evaluation of art or music will always be subjective, even if the aim was to be objective. Despite the fact that I have endeavoured to be as careful as possible, I am all too aware that the results of my work can be called into question, and am therefore grateful for any suggestions you might have.
